Tall forward struggles on a wet night - It's no surprise.
This. Unbelievable some of the calls in here. How is he supposed to be the player ppl expect him to be when they want to drop him after one bad game.Just keep playing him
With our forward injuries right now I think we really should do this.

It’s amazing to me that anybody wants the club to do anything other than just play the likes of Francis, Parish, Ridley, Redman, Langford and Laverde.
Surely - and we have 2016 as some evidence - all it can do is fast track their development.
Do people honestly think our more mature players are going to take us anywhere? How many more years of evidence do you need?

Did Dees playing Watts so early and clearly before he was ready, help his career?
I’d keep Francis in for Blues (if not wet) but he’s only played 17 games and sometimes it can also be beneficial to drop them back to find confidence, rather than keep them in when struggling and may destroy confidence. Depends on player’s personality as well.
Watts was a 17yo kid played for marketing reasons. These guys are far more mature and can have a real impact next season, not in five years. We’ve gotta play em.

Just gotta get Bonner in somehow to complete the trioReunited with Will Snelling.
Prior to Stringer going down I was wondering why can't he play in defence with Hooker as a marking forward? However, he's not the ideal replacement as the medium forward.
His lack of form and confidence this year is really concerning when you consider how great his finish to last year was.
I hope we don't stuff up his development like we have Laverde, Langford and Stewart.

Hey? You said before that ‘we were hardly too tall” up forward, yet they were all around Francis’ height.
Best way to learn is to play on the best. I recall Fletcher being smashed a few times... so long as he’s putting in the required effort, play Francis.Think he had Grimes for most of Saturday night. If correct I imagine he’s maybe the best defender he’s come up against....combined with he conditions it’s no surprise he wasn’t great. Grimes is excellent.
Just keep playing him.
We weren't too tall as a team - We had two tallish forwards who play tall in Mckernan and Francis - And Worsfold moved Ambrose forward in the second half - Richmond's tall forwards in Lynch and Balta hardly shot the lights out - You can continue to believe the media.
AgreedYeah McKernan and Francis plus Laverde (191cm) and Begley (188cm) who are not much shorter than Francis.
Jobe Watson didn’t have much of a tank.Said it before but he just does not have the tank needed and I am not sure he ever will.
Would have been a star in the 80's when he could have rested in the forward or backline and never have to move out of his 50.
